Items needed:

  • Square dividers - Painters tape or if outside, sidewalk chalk works great

  • Implement - 4 racquets or paddles, if not available, you can use your hand to strike the object up

  • Object to strike - Shuttle cock, tennis ball, whiffle ball

Four square is fun for the whole family and it's not just for the playground anymore.

  • One participant sends the object to one of the other group members’ areas using her or his racket.

  • The other group members defend their space by not letting the object hit the ground. They try to “whack” it away with their racket and send it to another area.

  • When the object hits the ground in one of the four areas, the person in that area receives a point.

  • The objective is to receive the lowest number of points within the group. The game is over when participant group member receives 10 points. Scoring optional.
